						Before downloading, be sure to have a code editor (we recommend <a

				<!-- File structure
        ================================================== -->
				<section id="file-structure">
					<div class="page-header">
						<h1>2. File structure</h1>
					</div>
					<p class="lead">Within the download you'll find the following
						file structure and contents, logically grouping common assets and
						providing both compiled and minified variations.</p>
					<p>Once downloaded, unzip the compressed folder to see the
						structure of (the compiled) Bootstrap. You'll see something like
						this:</p>
					<pre class="prettyprint">
  bootstrap/
  ├── css/
  │   ├── bootstrap.css
  │   ├── bootstrap.min.css
  ├── js/
  │   ├── bootstrap.js
  │   ├── bootstrap.min.js
  └── img/
      ├── glyphicons-halflings.png
      └── glyphicons-halflings-white.png
</pre>
					<p>
						This is the most basic form of Bootstrap: compiled files for quick
						drop-in usage in nearly any web project. We provide compiled CSS
						and JS (
						<code>bootstrap.*</code>
						), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (
						<code>bootstrap.min.*</code>
						). The image files are compressed using <a
							href="http://imageoptim.com/">ImageOptim</a>, a Mac app for
						compressing PNGs.
					</p>
					<p>Please note that all JavaScript plugins require jQuery to be
						included.</p>

				<!-- Contents
        ================================================== -->
				<section id="contents">
					<div class="page-header">
						<h1>3. What's included</h1>
					</div>
					<p class="lead">
						Bootstrap comes equipped with HTML, CSS, and JS for all sorts of
						things, but they can be summarized with a handful of categories
						visible at the top of the <a href="http://getbootstrap.com">Bootstrap
							documentation</a>.
					</p>

					<h2>Docs sections</h2>
					<h4>
						<a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/scaffolding.html">Scaffolding</a>
					</h4>
					<p>Global styles for the body to reset type and background,
						link styles, grid system, and two simple layouts.</p>
					<h4>
						<a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html">Base
							CSS</a>
					</h4>
					<p>
						Styles for common HTML elements like typography, code, tables,
						forms, and buttons. Also includes <a href="http://glyphicons.com">Glyphicons</a>,
						a great little icon set.
					</p>
					<h4>
						<a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html">Components</a>
					</h4>
					<p>Basic styles for common interface components like tabs and
						pills, navbar, alerts, page headers, and more.</p>
					<h4>
						<a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html">JavaScript
							plugins</a>
					</h4>
					<p>Similar to Components, these JavaScript plugins are
						interactive components for things like tooltips, popovers, modals,
						and more.</p>

					<h2>List of components</h2>
					<p>
						Together, the <strong>Components</strong> and <strong>JavaScript
							plugins</strong> sections provide the following interface elements:
					</p>
					<ul>
						<li>Button groups</li>
						<li>Button dropdowns</li>
						<li>Navigational tabs, pills, and lists</li>
						<li>Navbar</li>
						<li>Labels</li>
						<li>Badges</li>
						<li>Page headers and hero unit</li>
						<li>Thumbnails</li>
						<li>Alerts</li>
						<li>Progress bars</li>
						<li>Modals</li>
						<li>Dropdowns</li>
						<li>Tooltips</li>
						<li>Popovers</li>
						<li>Accordion</li>
						<li>Carousel</li>
						<li>Typeahead</li>
					</ul>
					<p>In future guides, we may walk through these components
						individually in more detail. Until then, look for each of these in
						the documentation for information on how to utilize and customize
						them.</p>

				<!-- HTML template
        ================================================== -->
				<section id="html-template">
					<div class="page-header">
						<h1>4. Basic HTML template</h1>
					</div>
					<p class="lead">
						With a brief intro into the contents out of the way, we can focus
						on putting Bootstrap to use. To do that, we'll utilize a basic
						HTML template that includes everything we mentioned in the <a
							href="./getting-started.html#file-structure">File structure</a>.
					</p>
					<p>
						Now, here's a look at a <strong>typical HTML file</strong>:
					</p>
					<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Bootstrap 101 Template&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
    &lt;h1&gt;Hello, world!&lt;/h1&gt;
    &lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</pre>
					<p>
						To make this <strong>a Bootstrapped template</strong>, just
						include the appropriate CSS and JS files:
					</p>
					<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Bootstrap 101 Template&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"&gt;
    &lt;!-- Bootstrap --&gt;
    &lt;link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen"&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
    &lt;h1&gt;Hello, world!&lt;/h1&gt;
    &lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</pre>
					<p>
						<strong>And you're set!</strong> With those two files added, you
						can begin to develop any site or application with Bootstrap.
					</p>
